A work mate (not web, Linux/Unix/3D programmer) was made superfluous ten years ago.
He was cool and we others missed him when he totally disappeared. (We also missed his incredible music collection with technical death metal, weird folk and improvised jazz.)
Then, years later, I Googled his name among the credits of a game.
When people disappear, they might not have died -- it might be worse... they might be developing games. :-)
I met him last year when I traveled to where he is living now; like most everyone else he had burned out doing games.
Hmm, I'll send an email and see if he's collected himself and is back doing weird hacking...
I guess people I know might be telling disappearing stories about me, since when I got ill a bunch of years ago.
